FUND COERCION STATUTE CITED

‘Shakedown’ Investigation May Go to Grand Jury,

Blue Indicates.

By NOBLE REED

In making its investigation into reports of alleged “shakedown” tactics being used on county workers for political funds, the county council yesterday referred to a little-used state law which provides a prison sentence for illegal collections from government workers. The law, passed in 1919, reads: Any public official who shall demand from, or shall, directly or indirectly; receive from any deputy or clerk appointed by him, or any employee employed by him any part of the compensation provided by law for such deputy, clerk or employee for his or her services, shall be deemed guilty of a felony and | upon conviction shall be imprisoned | In the state's prison not less than one year nor more than five years. Seek New Evidence

that if the investigation discloses that this law has been violated “we certainly will see that the matter is taken before the grand jury.” Meanwhile, a special council committee composed of Shirlie Deming and George Hollingsworth continued to seek additional evidence that county workers were being coerced into paying part of their wages into Republican campaign funds. The committee is acting under a resolution adopted unanimously by the council Thursday following disclosure that nine county highway department employees walked off their jobs recently after refusing to donate part of their wages to a highway department fund for the Republican county committee,

Council Calls Employees

The ex-county employees have been asked to appear before the county council today to give details why they quit, especially regarding indirect pressure, Vif any, used on them to make donations to the G. O. P. fund. The council's resolution stated that reports and rumors have been circulated that county employees have been notified to donate part] of their pay to one political group) or another. “Any such contribution made under duress directly or indirectly are of deep concern to the taxpayers,” Khe resolution stated. It demanded that a sweeping investigation be made of all requests for contributions from county em-| ployees. ‘We'll Use All Laws”

A. Addison J. Parry, council president, said councilmen were not go- | ing to stand for any tactics that | would divert the taxpayers’ mney | into political channels. “If any public officials are using] the power of their offices to build | up political funds from workers’ pay &hecks, we will use all the laws on} the books to see that they are prosecuted,” Mr. Parry said. Henry E. Ostrom, county Republiean committee chairman, said he will welcome any investigation into any illegal activities in connection with collection of campaign funds. Ostrum Cites Instructions “I have instructed all party work- | ers that collection of campaign] funds must be on a strictly voluntary basis, and that no government employee has to give a dime if he doesn’t want to,” he said. “If any Republican appointee is coerced into donating part of his wages to campaign funds with threats that he will lose his job, I wish he would see me and I will see that it is stopped.”

WARN MOTORISTS TO GET TAX STAMP

It's time for all Indianapolis motorists to buy their auto use stamps and put them on the car windshield. The bureau of internal revenue and U. S. district attorney have received instructions from Washington to start enforcing the auto use tax stamp law. Motorists found driving without the $5 tax stamp are subject to a maximum fine of $25 for failure to * *buy the stamp and another fine of $25 for failure to display it. B. Howard Caughran, district attorney, today warned the motorists that deputy revenue collectors would soon be stationed at strategic points on state highways to] check cars coming in and out of | nina ols, Drivers not display- | ing the stamp will be brought before the U. S. commissioner here. Stamps can be purchased until July 31 at any postoffice and after Yat at internal revenue offices in ndianapolis, Terre Haute, Evansville and Lawreiiceburg.

DEFENDS WALLAGE'S HIRE OF PRISONERS

WASHINGTON, July 23 (U. P). - Assistant Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson said yesterday there \ nothing irregular in the use of talian prisoners of war as laborers by the Hy-bred Corn Co., organized by Vice President Henry A. Wallace. ¢ Patterson was asked at a press conference about a Chicago Tribune editorial which said that the company was gaining a five to one advantage over its competitors by obtaining cheap war prisoner labor. Patterson explained that the comny pays the prevailing wage scale ' the Des Moines, Town, area. The prisoners of war get 80 cents ¢ day, in fiom with the Geneva conti

on. e governments gets the remainder of the 37 cents an hour which the company actually pays for its prisoner laborers. In adtterson sai

MORE PROTECTION IS GIVEN AIRPORT,

The works board today appropriated $36,750 for better fire protection and runway maintenance equipment at the municipal airport.

The fund for fire protection totals $20,750 for a $10,000 crash truck, cistern, water mains and another well. The maintenance funds provide for a gasoline roller costing $4500, a sweeper at $1500, surface repairs and repainting the administration building. The board ordered the city legal

department to draw up an ordinance appropriating the money from the general fund. The city council will

receive the ordinance for approval. The funds request was made by Maj. Walker W. Winslow, superintendent of municipal airport.

TOO FREE WITH MEAT

NEW YORK (U. P). — Hyman Zelin’s one-man attempt to ease the meat shortage here cost him

'85 in court fees. He admitted giv-

ing away meat to passersby from a parked delivery truck.

Some folks are hard to convince. We keep on saying that the Long Distance telephone lines are crowded and some calls get caught in a jam

of telephone traffic.

Occasionally we meet a skeptic. “How come?” says he. “My calls go right through.”

That is true on many calls, and nobody is any happier about it than we are.

But some calls to some places are delayed. The Long Distance lines to centers of war activity and the main cross-country routes are crowded most of the time now. !

If you'll ease up on

the calls that can be

avoided, we’ll get the essential ones through much faster. Thanks for your help.
